Integration Accelerator (Metadata-Driven)
A reusable integration hub for inbound and outbound data: schedules, retries, idempotency, canonical mapping and SCD handling — with documentation built-in.
When to use it
- Onboard many sources quickly with consistent logging and error handling.
- Publish curated data out to apps/APIs (CRM/ERP/CE, finance, bespoke) safely.
- Document mappings, contracts and schema changes as you go.
What’s inside
- Metadata catalog for sources, targets, schedules, transformations and owners.
- Connectors & pipelines (ADF/Functions/Databricks) with retries and idempotency.
- Canonical mapping templates, SCD handling and contract tests.
- Outbound patterns to push to APIs/Dataverse/SQL with throttling and DLQ.
- Docs & runbooks auto-linked to each flow.

Time-to-value
- Week 1: Accelerator deploy, first inbound flow live.
- Week 2–3: Add outbound flow with mapping + contract tests.
- Week 4: Operational dashboards and handover.
Prerequisites
- Access to source/target systems and API credentials where required.
- Agreement on initial canonical entities and naming conventions.
Deliverables
- Integration metadata store and pipelines for at least one inbound + one outbound pathway.
- Mapping catalog with SCD rules and contract tests.
- Runbooks, dashboards and backlog for next flows.
